Childless at 30

ONS statistician Amanda Sharfman, DIY expert Jessica Grizzle, presenter Kirsty Marke and behavioural and data scientist Pragya Agarwal join Richie to discuss having children later on in life.

New ONS stats show half of 30-year-old women in England and Wales have not had a baby; it's the highest proportion since records began more than one hundred years ago.

Richie uses this stat as a launchpad into a wider conversation about why more people are having children later on in life, exploring possible reasons why and sharing lived experiences of trying and having children later on in life. @1Xtra on social and #1XtraTalks
